Bio

I'm a newly minted Classics MA looking for work in a brand new city. I am using my strange free time to knit (or at least think about knitting). In university, I developed a severe yarn addiction and have given almost all of my clothes shopping money over to feeding my fibre habit. It really doesn't help that I am still employed at a yarn store...

This journal is named for one of my two yarn-loving kitties. I will try and keep my WIPs up-to-date for all to see!
